Baked chicken and rice (healthier Greek recipe)

This Greek chicken and rice bake makes a great healthy dinner. The lemony-garlicky chicken legs are perfectly paired with brown rice and additional vegetables.

This healthy baked chicken and rice recipe is great for every day meals. It's a family favorite!

This recipe uses classic Mediterranean flavours, just like the Greek baked chicken with potatoes. The chicken is flavored beautifully by lemon, garlic, and oregano. Also, because the rice is baked together with it, the rice becomes even more delicious.

If you have a large deep skillet that you can put in the oven, I recommend you use it. Otherwise, you can use any skillet or frying pan you have to saute the chicken, and then use a baking sheet to bake the food in the oven.

While I prefer to bake the rice in the oven, I also get a fluffy result that takes very little effort. However, there are times when I crave creamy chicken risotto. This classic Greek chicken rice risotto recipe is perfect for those times.

Is this rice and baked chicken healthier than regular rice?

This recipe is healthier than the original because brown Rice is used in place of white. According to healthline.com, brown rice has a higher fiber content and more nutrients. It also has a lower glycemic (GI) index.

Skinless Chicken is also used because of the extra fat in the skin, but also because it can make rice feel greasy.

Another way to get extra health benefits is to add vegetables such as chopped carrots or red bell peppers.

Because of their colors, these vegetables make rice taste better and more appealing to the eyes. For best results, make sure you chop them in small pieces.

Why not chicken thighs or drumsticks instead?

Because they are a crowd pleaser

This recipe does not call for chicken breasts. It can dry quickly so I avoid it. The thighs and drumsticks of the chicken are better than the breasts. They remain tender, moist, and juicy even after being baked a little longer.

The best way to cook chicken is skinless and boneless. The skin is not necessary because it contains extra fat. Also, it won't get crispy with this method of baking.

You can use bone-in chicken, and it will be just as good. However, the rice will still be cooked when it is done. I prefer to use boneless chicken because it's simpler to eat and what I typically find in the grocery store.

Why not first saute the chicken and then bake it?

The chicken meat can be sautéed before being baked to enhance its flavor.

This is possible by heating the skillet to high heat and not allowing the meat to crowd the pan. Stirring is not a good idea. Let the meat brown naturally, and you will start to smell it when it is ready.

What type of rice is this?

A brown rice is the best choice for this recipe. It should be parboiled and requires 10 minute cooking. It shouldn't be difficult to find it, as most major stores carry different brands.

You will need to add more water or chicken broth to a pan if your brown rice takes longer than 20 minutes to cook. It may take the same time to bake, or it might take longer depending on your oven and other factors. The recipe box below has more information on how to adjust the quantities.

If you don't feel like using brown rice, you can use any long-grain rice that takes less than 10 minutes to cook. Basmati and Jasmin are excellent options. It is not recommended to use instant rice, risotto or wild rice.

This Moroccan rice (pilaf), which can be used as a side dish with many meat dishes, is great if you love rice. Spendwithpennies.com also has a helpful article on how to cook brown rice (oven/stove).

Ingredients

  • 1.75-2 (800-900 grams) Skinless chicken thighs or drumsticks (boneless or not).
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell Pepper, small cubes
  • 1/2 a carrot, in small cubes
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice (see notes)
  • 2-3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 1/4 cups hot water or chicken broth

Serving:

  • chopped parsley. Kalamata olives. Feta cheese

Equipment:

  • 1 large deep cast iron skillet or an oven-safe deep saucepan. You can also use a regular saucepan to saute the chicken, a casserole or a 12-inch baking pan for the oven.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Saute the chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Once the oil has melted, add the meat to the skillet and cook for 4 minutes. Flip the meat over and cook for 3-4 more minutes.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Take the chicken out of the skillet and place it on a plate. Turn down the heat to medium/high. Add the bell pepper, carrot, and onion. Cook until translucent and softened. Cook for one more minute. Add the garlic, bay leaves, lemon zest, and rice. The lemon juice, oregano and salt should be added.
  • Bake: Place the chicken on top of the rice, and pour the juices from the plate into a pan. Add salt to the chicken and cover it with aluminum foil. Bake for 35 minutes. Bake for a further 10 minutes after removing the foil.
  • Serve with chopped parsley and Kalamata olives, as well as feta cheese.

Notes

  • Use a brown rice with a 10-minute cooking time. As long as they are indicated on the package as requiring 10 minutes of cooking, brown basmati rice, white Basmati and other long-grain varieties will work fine.
  • If the rice is indicating that it takes 20 minutes to cook, add 3 cups water or chicken broth and test for doneness at end of baking time. Continue baking for another 5-10 minutes if the rice seems undercooked.
  • To make chicken breasts, Thighs can be used instead. However, they will be less tender. If your chicken breasts are too large, you can saute them for 6 min each side and then follow the recipe instructions.
  • Don't use instant rice or risotto rice.
  • Lemon zest can become bitter if it is too strong. Grated ginger is a great alternative to lemon zest.
